A Virtual Classroom - Private The Learning Placeis Education Queensland's eLearning environment. It is a large site with lots of information. In fact, the home page title is "Learn, Share, Create, Join, Discover" (n.d.). A feature that I have started looking into this year is the Virtual Classrooms in Blackboard. Within the Tools page (link located on the left sidebar of the screen capture in teal there is a Wiki feature that can be installed in the Virtual Classroom. The screen capture below shows the Wiki home page embedded in my very newly created Virtual Classroom which is to be up and running for the start of 2011.
Teachers are able to have 20 Virtual Classrooms. This is great for teachers to set up virtual classroom for different units of work, projects, assessment etc.
The Learning Place is an Education Queensland initiative, however, educators from private sector are also able to apply for Virtual Classrooms.
